Scenes from the life of modern man
The collective Portie Gemengd (Liesa Naert, Julie Delrue and Steven Beersmans) presents under the watchful eye of director Wouter Deprez a performance that taps into the forgotten tradition of the theatrical sketch. In SKETCH! they tackle the knots of life with - ah, yes! - sketches. Whether those knots are effectively untangled is the question. That you will enjoy it is guaranteed.
SKETCH! is a swirling and bone-deep funny performance. Accessible, pure actor's theater that takes you along a series of acts that mock the absurdity of our society: a restaurant scene with a couple who don't know anything about concept dining, a doctor's scene about contagious accents and a parent-teacher meeting that puts a finger on what is wrong in our education.
“Flanders is hungry for a really good sketch program. We came to that conclusion after seeing SKETCH! where a spectator reported that his chair was wet from laughing.” ★★★★ - De Standaard
“In ‘SKETCH!’ they combine impressive comedic craftsmanship with a refreshing search for relevance for the genre. Coached by Wouter Deprez and fueled by a deep love for the tradition.” Evelyne Coussens, Pzazz.
